Is there any doubt now?

Didn’t post the last few days. Went home to spend Father’s Day with my dad in Rochester.

After seeing the Stephen Foster Saturday at Churchill Downs, there is no question that Curlin is the best horse in the world. Does anyone really think that Big Brown would be able to bring down Curlin?

However that said what’s with his connections whine about the weight assignment for the Foster? He won handily with 128-lbs which frankly is kid stuff compared to what the greats have had to tote. We’re not talking about 1950′s and ’60′s horses, but rather even Spectacular Bid set two track records hauling 130-lbs. And he did so without Bud Delp or Meyerhoff complaining.

Jess Jackson likes his position of being seen as a quasi-dean of racing by returning Curlin to the track at 4. Yet with all due respect he should bite his tongue when given just 128-lbs in a $1M, Grade 1 race. His Curlin will have to tote over 131-lbs in the Arc – if they go.
